SOUTH AHAN

We were in Columbia today and a friend recommended this spot! So thankful they did! The atmosphere is a vibe. Well decorated and thought out. The food was probably the most authentic and delicious Lao food I’ve had since moving to the Nashville area! We had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend! We will be back, for sure.

Came in for dinner with family. Glad they recommended this place. The Sticky Chick and rice was awesome. The sauce is the boss. Sweet and spicy. The Crab Puffs are some of the best around. If you’re in the area, you have to stop in and try.

I recently had the pleasure of dining at South Ahan, and it was an extraordinary experience that left me thoroughly impressed. From the moment we walked in, the warm and inviting atmosphere set the tone for what would be an unforgettable meal. The highlight of our visit was undoubtedly the incredible food. The presentation of each dish was impeccable, showcasing the chef's attention to detail and culinary expertise. We started with the fried rice, which was perfectly seasoned and had just the right amount of egg and vegetables. The rich, savory flavors were a delightful introduction to our meal. Next, we enjoyed a dish of stir-fried noodles with an assortment of vibrant vegetables and tender pieces of meat. The combination of fresh ingredients and expertly balanced spices made every bite a burst of flavor. The vegetables were cooked to perfection, maintaining a slight crunch that added to the overall texture of the dish. Another standout was the spicy chicken wings, which were both crispy and juicy. The sauce had the perfect blend of heat and sweetness, making them absolutely addictive. The addition of fresh green chilies and herbs added a refreshing contrast to the rich, flavorful coating on the wings. Finally, the Thai basil fried rice was a revelation. The fragrant basil leaves and the medley of colorful peppers and onions made this dish a feast for both the eyes and the palate. The portion size was generous, and the accompanying dipping sauce provided an extra layer of depth to the already delicious fried rice. South Ahan's commitment to quality and authenticity shines through in every aspect, from the friendly service to the exquisite dishes. Each plate is a masterpiece, reflecting a perfect blend of traditional Thai flavors and contemporary culinary techniques. If you’re looking for a place to enjoy an exceptional meal, South Ahan is the place to be. Highly recommended!

I'm new to the area, and South Ahan has become a take-out staple. The food is delicious, the service is friendly and professional, and the restaurant has a great atmosphere. From shrimp fried rice to ramen, I've tried (and loved) the majority of the menu. While I've only gotten food to go, the restaurant itself is a great spot for lunch or dinner (currently they only have dinner service over the weekend). Check out this great addition to the Columbia restaurant scene!

I had the pleasure of dining at this establishment for the first time, and if I could, I would rate it 20 stars! Every dish, from the pho to the fried chicken and ribs, was simply divine. The pho, in particular, was bursting with flavor and left me in awe! Normally, we make the drive to Atlanta for a good bowl of pho, but this gem is conveniently close to home and satisfies every craving. It's hard to imagine anyone not falling in love with this place, as it undoubtedly serves the best pho in Tennessee. The owner and staff were incredibly warm and made me feel right at home. I am overjoyed to have discovered such a fantastic restaurant. Even my finicky little nieces, who are usually very selective eaters, couldn't get enough of the food. A big thank you for providing such a delightful dining experience! We will definitely be back!

I have had a lot of pho ( its one of my all time favorite dishes), this is probably some of the best pho I have ever had in my life. It was so fresh and delicious. The broth itself felt like it had been cooking for days absorbing all the flavors of the meat and herbs. The meat was tender and flavorfull. So good, would def come back again

Had the pleasure of having lunch and dinner here and both times were great. Me and my husband found this gem and have been going back since. First we love how clean and friendly this place is. You walk in order your meal and find a seat. We have tried the pho, shrimp fried rice, drunken noodles, next level noodles, spring roll, fried crab puff, beef bone broth, and the Loa wings. Everything we have had so far has been spectacular. The pho was warm and comforting with a huge portion you will probably have some to take home. My husband is hooked on the drunken noodles. The wings were delicious with the star being the chilli sauce they serve with it. The shrimp fried rice was also amazing with a huge portion. The spring rolls were very fresh and the crab puffs are also very tasty. Seriously it doesn’t matter what you choose you will not be disappointed. The chef has a passion for cooking and it certainly shows with the dishes and the presentation. By far this is a hidden gem and much needed options in a place full of Mexican food. Do yourself a favor and check them out you will not be disappointed!

Best place in Columbia! My husband and I have ate over half the menu here. It’s our favorite local spot: the crab puffs are delicious! My personal favorite is their next level ramen, the pad Thai is a close second (mild for me, medium for my spice loving husband). His favorite would be the curry! Legit everything on this menu is delicious and worth trying! They also have specials not listed online, you’re truly missing out if you haven’t tried this place!
